Day Sixteen- of 2018 Great Release Program – 16 December – Sunday
By Silver RavenWolf

2nd Quarter Moon in Aries where you may find it easier to move forward and accomplish more than you anticipated!

Sunday – Sun – Planetary Ruler – burn a yellow or gold candle to encourage personal success. Carve your name on it with an old pen or pencil. Dress with a mixture of sugar and eggnog ( or milk or cream). Pat dry. Ring candle holder with sesame seeds to open the way to success! OR…burn a red and yellow candle together for double success (Aries – fire – red; Sun – fire – yellow/gold). Use the Venus Attraction Sigil shown below if you like. Write what it is you wish to draw to you on the back of the sigil OR around the outer rim of the sigil – your choice. State your purpose aloud. Breathe deeply with your breath skipping across the sigil three times to activate. Place under your candle. When the candle burns completely, carry the sigil with you until what you desire manifests. Throw the candle end and seeds away OR place the cold candle end and seeds in a conjure bag along with your sigil.

Good Fortune Penny Packets – the artwork for today’s post shows simple penny packets made out of felt circles. Super easy and quick to put together, you can stitch the circles or glue them with a glue gun. A good vehicle for color magick, penny packets can be made in a variety of hues with any type of embellishment you desire from none to over the top! They can take less than 5 minutes to put together – or, spend more time and show off yer fancy! Today, we’ll use penny packets for attraction magick. Start creating your pennies with two of the same size felt pieces. These are the base and the part you want to stuff. You can add smaller pennies on top (for design, color, or added charms). Our working will include the attraction sigil in this post, holiday spices (or whatever you wish) as the herbal magick, a penny (or piece of copper), and a crystal or other gemstone of your choice. For my herbal mixture, I used dried orange peel, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and brown sugar. Stuff spices and sigil into the two base pieces of the packet. Add a small quartz crystal if you like. Glue shut. Embellish with additional, smaller circles, ribbons, beads, charms, etc. Magick Penny Packets make wonderful Yule ornaments!

Note: To really ramp up that sigil, brush the paper with eggnog and sprinkle with the spices. Allow paper to dry completely (you can bake it in the oven at 185 degrees until dry) before stuffing in your Penny Packet.

Take a picture of your penny packet project and send it to me at ToadyProducts@msn.com — I don’t post names or addresses to keep your work anonymous and you safe. You can claim your work by simply commenting that the photo belongs to you (or not).

Your Challenge Today – THAT BIG JOB YOU ARE AVOIDING!

Just remember…to complete today’s main challenge you must throw or give away one physical item.

Secondary Challenge – A fun project you’ve been neglecting because you’ve had more important things to do. Fun is just as necessary

My Progress: I decided to use this day to work on my weekly challenge – a project I’ve been avoiding – the hall closet. Ug. What we couldn’t find a place for in the laundry room – ended up in this tiny closet – in a jumble that could hide at least one corpse. At the beginning of the week I cleared out a few things; but, then found myself caught up in a different area of the house. Yesterday, I managed to sort out two shelves – unfortunately, everything I’ve been pulling out of the closet is still on the floor. Argh!

String Magick Spirit Walk – Today, consider a problem you would like to solve. Take a string that is 21-inches long and put it in your pocket. Take a 5 to 20-minute Spirit Walk. To do this, stand at the doorway before you leave and breathe deeply several times. Repeat the words, “Anything is possible,” 9 times or as many times as it takes for you to feel calm and assured. When you are relaxed, touch Spirit and Nature with your mind, asking for help on a troubling issue. You can say aloud, “I will collect items that I can use to build a pattern to capture my solution.” If this wording doesn’t suit you, think of something else. Just be positive, open-minded, and specific. Take a walk outdoors, and pick up items that attract your attention such as a stone, feather, oddly shaped stick, etc. Put them in the same pocket (or bag) that carries the string. Bring your found items back to your home. If the item is not of nature, you should cleanse and consecrate it first – like a pretty button, or a penny. When you are ready, create a circle with the string on your altar – be sure to make a knot to tie the ends together. Spit on the knot. Place the objects you found within the string circle. Hold your hands over the collection and ask Spirit for help. Begin moving your hands in a direction that feels comfortable to you. Some may move their palms clockwise, others widdershins. Just move them in a way that feels empowering – that feels good to you. This practice is what I call “weaving the pattern” that will draw the solution to you. Some people weave with a song, humming, whistling, or chanting as well. When you have lost your focus, seal the items on the altar by drawing an equal-armed-cross in the air over the altar. Leave for 24 hours. Place all items in a clean bag (can be paper or cloth) and hide away. When your working has manifested, burn the bag and the string, sprinkle the items with salt, and then return them to nature.
